Martin Luther King went through multiple distresses and attack, his house got burnt, and afterwards shot dead. I was just glancing on the 'career girls murder; two room mates that was assasinated the same day Martin Luther king Jr made his I have a dream speech'. Great speakers like Luther tend to be killed for multiple reasons; curruption, envy, and anger. In his letter from Birmingham Jail, he cried out bitterly about the hate fellow clergies pour out to him for trying to do the extraordinary. It'll be tough to determine which people neutralized the theologist, but it's fine to see documented files relating to his murder. I'd read through it definitely.
